Syracuse, N.Y. - The Rosamond Gifford Zoo announcing another birth at the Zoo. This time its two Amur tiger cubs, one male and one female, were born to mother Zeya and father Thimbu. The cubs and their mother will not go on exhibit until the cubs are about 16 weeks old. In the meantime, guests who want a closer look at Zeya and her cubs can view them daily on a live camera feed in zoo’s Animal Health Center.
County Executive Ryan McMahon said, “The birth of these tiger cubs is a triumph of conservation, and demonstrates the expertise and commitment of the animal care specialists at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.” McMahon continued, “These are some of the rarest big cats on Earth, and it is a privilege to have an institution in our community that is qualified to provide the complex care that this species requires.”
